Oh my goodness. I picked up PS I love you on Friday and devoured it! It had been sitting on my shelf for awhile and I wish I would not have waited so long. I don't remember the last time I laughed and cried interchangably throughout the whole novel. I also cannot believe that Cecilia Ahearn was 21 years old and that it was her first novel. It was fabulous. It was heartbreaking and real, yet hilariously funny at parts. You get sucked into it and cannot stop. My only complaints is that I wish Daniel and her had been right for each other. I do not understand Daniel's love for Laura's "drama." I fully agree with Holly's opinion of her just being a bitch. I also wonder what kind of person Daniel really is if he was friends with her ex and her boyfriend. That part of the story could have been better written. Anyway, I definitely give it 2 thumbs up. I even went and got another one of her books from the library and will start that today!

One would think with it being reading month I would have gotten my read on. Not so much, I really need to buckle down or there is NO WAY I will make my reading goal this year. The things holding me back is my goal at reading books that are classics, or longer, or not really my style and it's slowing me down. After I finish the books from this library trip, I am going back to what I like,and maybe some more mindless reading!

Eeek. This is bad. I have been reading Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates since March 12th, but I haven't picked it up in about a week.. I think my goal is to finish it by Friday, which is totally doable. Must step away from the computer for the rest of the week!
